About Green Tea Tokyo
Representative: Yuki Ishii
The “tea ceremony” is a way of serving delicious powdered green tea to customers.
However, the actual image of “tea ceremony” tends to be a bit intimidating, with people thinking that they have to sit on the floor, don’t have a kimono, don’t know the etiquette, and so on.
Therefore, we have started this service to make it easier for people to experience the tea ceremony.
